Real Music for Kids??? PLEASE HELP!!! (jazz, Nirvana, quote, band)

I'm the Mom of the 6 year old in question.

By the way, her favorite song is 'Bad Day',,, she also digs Gwen Stefani, and she runs around singing... "my humps".. not that I approve of that...

But I think I'll pass on the Cure, the Smiths, all those Jazz ones, etc. I think what you guys liked when you were 6 is what was popular when you were 6.

I could use more stuff like "Bad Day"... I need songs that are upbeat and fun, well written, and current... without explicit lyrics, or inappropriate subject matter (i.e. My Humps)

The Shrek 2 soundtrack went over big... and I don't think the CD has been changed from that one since she got it.

Thanks for the input.

Mommy

P.S. It really IS pretty funny to watch your 4 year old run around singing "my humps, my humps, my lovely lady lumps... check it out!" So while I'd hang my head in shame, and tell her to stop singing that song, I'd be laughing my head off, which just encouraged her to do it more, and still to this day.

THe 13 year old likes:
Dave Matthews

She'd like the Goo Goo Dolls if she likes Lifehouse.
